This statement was reviewed by CHOP\u2019s Chief of Infectious Diseases\u2014the staunch vaccine advocate and vaccine patent holder Paul Offit, MD, who\u2019s also notorious for claiming that an infant can theoretically tolerate 10,000 vaccines at once.<\/p>\n
Such claims are in stark contrast to real-life incidents where infants have died after receiving certain vaccines or combinations of vaccines numbering in the single digits. In one recent case, a five-month old baby boy died in his sleep after receiving a second round of eight different vaccines.2<\/p>\n
Since then, CHOP has revised this ridiculous statement, but still claims that aluminum adjuvants are of no concern, saying that \u201cthe aluminum contained in vaccines is similar to that found in a liter of infant formula.3\u201d The site also says that:<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the quantities of aluminum we are exposed to on a daily basis, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is miniscule. Aluminum-containing vaccines have been used for decades and have been given to over one billion people without problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
What they fail to note is that eating and injecting aluminum is in no way equivalent. When you ingest aluminum, your body will absorb between 0.2-1.5 percent of it, or roughly one percent, according to Dr. Humphries.<\/p>\n
A 2010 study published in Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology4 also refutes Dr.Offits\u2019s and Keith\u2019s claims of Safety. Dr. Keith\u2019s claim that vaccines do not add significantly to the load of total aluminum is just false, especially because babies\u2019 kidneys are not fully functional in the first months of life.<\/p>\n
But the first vaccine in the USA, hepatitis B contains 225 mcg of aluminum, which is five times the total exposure of orally absorbed aluminum through the next six months. Premature babies have to deal with this load with even lower kidney function and lots more aluminum that comes from the medications given in the NICU.<\/p>\n
When aluminum is injected, your body absorbs 100 percent of it, compared to the miniscule amount of stable silicatedaluminum that is swallowed.<\/p>\n
The cellular damage from aluminum exposure that Dr. Humphries discusses here is related to intramuscular injection\u2014not ingestion, although the latter is certainly not going to boost your health either, especially if you have impaired kidney function, low albumin, or any underlying conditions for a relatively open blood-brain barrier.<\/p>\n
Moreover, CHOP clearly fails to address the reality that as aluminum-containing vaccines\u2014which are known to be neurotoxic\u2014have become increasingly plentiful, neurological diseases such as autism and Alzheimer\u2019s have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n
On the whole, it seems Dr.Offit has failed miserably in his efforts to review the appropriate literature published on aluminum. For example, the 2011 paper5 by Dr. Kawahara, cited in the featured lecture, states that:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst being environmentally abundant, aluminum is not essential for life. On the contrary, aluminum is a widely recognized neurotoxin that inhibits more than 200 biologically important functions and causes various adverse effects in plants, animals and humans.\u201d<\/p>\n
In short, aluminum promotes cellular death, and Dr. Kawahara\u2019s paper explains why the link between aluminum and Alzheimer\u2019s disease failed to be noticed in some earlier studies.<\/p>\n
